Beethoven Reborn - Episode 126
Beethoven Reborn Episode 126
29. 9Sal, Vienna Philharmonic and oboe(3)
next day.
Practice started at 10 o'clock, so I came out a little early to enjoy the street performance..
There was a place to have a drink in the square, so I could comfortably listen to music..
The sounds of people talking and the sounds made by street musicians blended well together, but I didn't think this was too bad..
Drinking orange juice and looking around in a lively and peaceful atmosphere made me want to join in..
“Please schedule a concert when I return to Korea..”
“That's how it should be. Because I didn’t release an album and do any activities. It might be a bit difficult to find a collaborator, though..”
“What about King Gau??”
“I'll have to contact them, but they also have a busy schedule. I probably won't be able to attend every concert..”
If it were King Gau, I think he would come with a grunt, but if an unavoidable situation arises, I will have to consider an alternative..
“People like Namgoong Ye-geon and Choi Seong-shin are also good. I think it'll be okay. how?”
“Hmm.”
I don't know about Choi Seong-shin because I haven't heard him play, but if it's Namgung Ye-geon, it's a bit disappointing..
It's not that I look down on him, but the difficulty of the second album is not simply a matter of technique..
♪♫♬♪♫♬
‘Good.’
The sound of an oboe was heard while contemplating a replacement for King Gau. A sad sound pierced my ears..
‘Who is it?’
It is quite rare to play only the oboe without accompaniment, but since he is a very talented person, I was able to concentrate..
“Because it's not an easy decision. I think it’s okay to take some time and think about it more..”
Himura came out of his thoughts..
I, who was inadvertently distracted by the sound of the oboe, returned to the original topic and asked Himura..
“What kind of person is Choi Seong-shin??”
“A little younger than Namgung Yegeon. It's still in the developing stage, but it has star potential. He also plays sensuously well. After all, he was the winner of the last Chopin Competition..”
I'm going to say it differently, but in the end, it doesn't meet my standards..
I thought, “I wish King Gau would come,” but I liked the oboe performance so much that I kept focusing on it..
I looked around but couldn't see anything..
“actually.”
“Ah yes.”
“I think pianist Park Geon-ho is good. When it comes to Korean pianists, there are few as great as him..”
Himura took out the earphones and cell phone and handed them to me..
It's my Piano Sonata No. 7 in D major..
I knew that modern people don't play well, but I was surprised. The playing also has depth and power..
“It's good?”
“huh. When it comes to Beethoven sonatas, it's pianist Park Geon-ho. Well, I'll have to contact them to find out, but even if they accept, it will take quite some time. Because I need to practice your song.”
Of course, the same goes for other songs, but since the album has just been released, the only person who can perform it right away is Gauwang..
It's a shame as I want to hold a concert like them as soon as possible..
It would be fun to play a sonata I made a while ago, but since this is my first piano recital, I would like to play a new piece as well..
“By the way, what about Teacher Hong??”
hate.
“why? I think your skills are good and people have been listening to your album a lot..”
When I heard the name, I felt rejected, but when I thought about it, there was no one better than King Gau..
The schedule is generous, your skills are excellent, and you've listened to my second album a lot, so you probably won't need much time to practice..
“If King Gau says no, I will ask him once..”
“okay.”
As we were talking like that, the person across from me got up and my view, which had been blocked, opened up, and there was a man who was still too young to be called a young man, playing the oboe..
I headed towards it as if possessed by a ghost..
This sad sound. I fell in love with the song that made me feel like I was in the lap of Mother Nature, and this young oboist who expressed it so well..
‘empty oboe.’
It was a Vienna oboe, like the one used by the Vienna Philharmonic, with less metal keys attached, and although it had been carefully maintained, it still looked quite worn..
I couldn't help but be deeply impressed by his ability to master the low register at such a young age and, moreover, to bring out the characteristics of the relatively uncomfortable Vienna oboe..
He finished playing and applauded with respect..
“It was a great performance.”
I took out 10 euros from the necklace wallet my mother made for me and put it in the coin container..
“thank you I'm glad you liked it... … oh my god.”
When the street oboist saw me, his eyes widened and he stuttered..
“Bae, Dobin Bae. It's Bae Dobin! Nonsense. Dobin Bae heard me play!”
He was jumping up and down like crazy and offered to shake my hand..
“Marco. My name is Marco Jean. I really enjoyed hearing from Shinsegae conducted by the Berlin Philharmonic..”
fifteen? Marco, who may be younger than him, reminded me of an old time..
“Thanks for looking. My name is Bae Do-bin..”
He willingly took the offered hand and shook it..
“Oh, I couldn't go there in person. I heard it on video. It was so sad though.”
He and I both laughed loudly.
Actually, concert tickets were expensive at that time. Marco Jean's oboe appears to be very expensive, but it is true that it was a concert that was not easy to find unless you could afford it..
“What song was it??”
“Ah, it’s the OST of the movie “Mission.” Gabriel's oboe.”
I need to remember this.
“Dobin, the meeting time is almost up..”
I would like to hear more of this person's playing, but it was disappointing..
“I play here every day?”
“yes. I do it until the sun sets.”
“I'll come visit you tomorrow too.”
Marco waved his hand vigorously to see me off..
“It was that good?”
“yes. He was skilled even without considering his age. I want it.”
They say there is no easy instrument, but it is very rare to find someone who plays the oboe so well at a young age..
Because maintaining the instrument requires very detailed skills, oboists have to be very diligent, and I thought they were managing to do it well..
“I'm anxious because I'm coveted.”
“What?”
“I'm afraid they'll say I'm investing again. I'll tell you in advance, no matter how much you earn, Nina's tuition alone will cost a lot of money..”
“are you okay. I said I would pay it back..”
“I know she's great, but if she wants to make a profit, shouldn't she at least graduate from music school??”
“I was planning to submit it to the Chopin Competition next year..”
“Show, Chopin? already? Miss Nina didn't even formally learn to play the piano. The repertoire is also biased toward Beethoven sonatas..”
“So, I sent it to music school. Please tell me to work hard.”
Himura, who heard what I said, made a very bewildered expression..
But I am sure everyone will be thrilled by Nina Ke Behiri's piano..
She will definitely become the world's most loved pianist in the near future..
“During the Creek Contest, you said that Tama was my rival..”
“It did.”
“I thought at the time that Nina Kebehiri was going to be my rival..”
“what?”
“I invested because it was worth that much..”
We urged Himura, who was a little perplexed, to the practice room where the Vienna Philharmonic was waiting..
The next day, when we headed to the square a little earlier, Gene Marco waved happily..
I wanted to know about him so I served him an orange smoothie..
Thanks to meeting him once yesterday, Marco became a little calmer than yesterday and spoke more easily..
Thanks to this, I was able to hear quite personal stories as topics..
For example, he is 16 years old and has clear goals..
“So my goal is to join the Austrian State Opera Orchestra..”
“national opera?”
Marco nodded and added an explanation..
“Both my grandfather and father were members of the National Opera Orchestra. My dream is to become the principal oboe of the Vienna Philharmonic. like my father did.”
I was reminded of the saying that in order to join the Vienna Philharmonic, you must have worked at the Austrian State Opera for at least three years..
“Do you like your dreams? May I ask what your father’s name is??”
Himura asked on my behalf..
“This is Jinen Marco..”
I looked at Himura and he looked a little embarrassed as it was my first time hearing this name..
“What's wrong?”
“Oh, no. A great oboist. You have a great father..”
Jin Marco smiled brightly at Himura’s words..
We talked a little more and Jean Marco was a really big fan of the Austrian State Opera Orchestra and the Vienna Philharmonic..
“Have you been to the Vienna State Opera??”
I shook my head and saw Marco talking excitedly like yesterday..
“You must go there once. please! If you go once, you can't avoid going twice, right? Just looking at that magnificent and wonderful building is so amazing..”
“So much?”
“huh!”
Himura smiled and added an explanation to Marco's words..
“It's one of the most famous opera houses in Europe. The Scala Theaters in Vienna, Paris, and Milan are usually considered the three greatest theaters in Europe..”
I don't really like opera, but this is a pretty interesting story..
“It's really cool. A chandelier shaped like a donut on the ceiling and tiered bleachers. Even the stage and lighting in front of it. Definitely go there once. Very cheap.”
Although it is not as much as it used to be, I knew that classical music is still a culture that costs quite a bit of money..
Before I released my first album, I was poor and all I could do was listen to CDs..
“It's cheap?”
Marco nodded vigorously..
“huh. 3 euros!”
“cheap!”
I shouted in surprise.
3In Euro, it is about 4,000 won..
With that money, you can't even buy a bowl of curry in Japan, but you can watch an opera..
It's worth saying that Marco is cheap..
“right! Although it is standing room only.”
“where is that.”
Just when I was thinking that I should definitely go there, Marco continued to brag about the Vienna State Opera again..
“Moreover, the accompaniment is done by Vin Phil himself. please! Must go.”
“……uh? It's not the National Opera Orchestra.?”
I couldn't understand why the Vienna Philharmonic provided accompaniment to the opera..
“haha. Isn’t it amazing? I briefly talked to Mr. Sakamoto last time, but Vienna Philharmonic is a unique place in many ways..”
“Please tell me in detail.”
I can't understand a thing.
“hmm… … . I'm an outsider, so I don't know much, but if I join the Vienna State Opera Orchestra, I will learn to play like an intern at the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra..”
Intern?
“……Easily.”
“Apprenticeship? Trainee?”
“ ah.”
“huh. The Vienna State Opera Orchestra and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra are closely related. Although the Vienna Philharmonic performs daily accompaniment at the State Opera, the performer
He is a performer of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and a member of the National Opera Orchestra..”
I felt it before when he explained the story of the Genie Wiz series, but Himura doesn't seem to be very talented at explaining things..
I don't know anything.
“The most important thing is!”
Marco interrupted me and Himura, who were talking in Korean, and spoke proudly..
“The Vienna Philharmonic is the best orchestra in the world..”
The brightness of the bright smile is like
I laughed inadvertently because I felt like I was looking at Choi Ji-hoon..
“I'll play hard here and use the money I save to go to college and get an empty philippines..”
“I'll support you.”
We shook hands and congratulated him on his future..
When practice time was up, we parted ways with Marco and on the way to the practice room, Himura muttered '殊勝仁'；b' in Japanese..
“What's so special about it??”
“Oh, I mean Marco..”
I asked him what he meant, and Himura told me the secret of Gene Marco's old oboe..
“Jin's father, Jinen Marco, passed away quite a long time ago. I remember him as vice principal of the Vienna Philharmonic, but I didn't know he had a son..”
“That's amazing.”
A bright child who moves forward without losing his dreams despite losing his parents..
It's really amazing.
“Oh, no. No more investment.”
““Who said anything?” jean marco.
I need to remember this.
